WRAPPING-MACHINE.

Specification of Letters l'atent. Application filed May 11, 1910.Serial-No. 560,571.

Patented Dec. 17, 1912.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN- J. LoEwY, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State 6 of New York,have inventedcertain new and useful Im rovements in Wrapping- Machines,of which the following is a specification, reference being hadtherein tothe accompanying drawing. This invention relates to a machine orapparatus adapted for applying a wrapper around packages of goods ormerchandise, such as collars, cufls, etc., and has for its objects toprevent soiling of the goods by 16 moist or dirty hands, to save time inwrapping the goods, and to economize wrapping material.

The invention comprises an endwise movable goods-holder adapted toreceive a tubu- 2 lar wrapper on its periphery and a goodsejector'within said holder for discharging the goods into the applied wrapperupon endwise movement of the holder from wrapper-holding position.

The invention also comprises, in combination with said. goods-holder, agoods-winder for winding the goods into compact form within the holderpreparatory to applying the wrapper thereto;

The invention further comprises a laterally tilting wrappercarriernormally alined with the goods holder and permitting easy andquick hand application of the wrapper to the carrier and 1tstransference therefrom to the goods holder.

The invention also comprises other features which will be pointed out inthe detailed description which follows.

Reference is made to the accompanying drawings forming part of thisspecification,

in which a I Figure 1 is a front elevation of a goodswrapping apparatusembodying the invention; Fig.2 a plan view thereof; Fig. 3 an endelevation ofthe goods holding and ejecting mechanism; Fig. 4 an enlargedlongitudinal sectional plan view of said mechanism; Fig. 5 across-section taken on the line a,a in Fig. 4; and Fig. 6 across-section taken on the-line bb in Fig. 4.

The numeral 1 indicates a bed-plate, counter, or other suitable supportto which is fastened a standard 2 having bearings 3, 3, in which isjournaled a tubular shaft 4 having at one end thereof an attached goodsend projecting into the ejector 5 and there around the winder 10.

'mal position and to return them to such ejector 5, which preferabl hasan end flange 6. On the shaft 4 adjacent to one of the bearings 3 is acollar 7 which serves to hold said shaft and the attached ejectoragainst endwise movement relatively to the 66 standard as shown.

The shaft 4 preferably has a side slot 8 into which enters a pin 12fixed to a rod 9 which passes through the shaft 4 with one having anattached head or goods-Winder 10, which preferably has suitable graspingor holding means, such as the slot 11, into which one end of the collarsor other goods is slipped and held prior to'coiling the same around thewinder within an exterior holder, as hereinafter more fully explained."A spring clip device 11 may be arranged with in the winder slot 11 toassure more quick and secure hold of the end'of the collars or 7 goodsentered into said'slot. The winder rod 9 has a crank 13 for turning it.v The standard 2 carries two laterally projecting arms 14,14, having endbearings 15,

15, in which is slidably mounted a rod 16 I having connection through anarm 17 with the winder rod 9 for endwise movement therewith. To theforward end of this rod 16 is fixed a goods holder 18 made in segmentalform with aside opening 19 for admitting the goods within it and to andThe slot-'and-pin connection 8-12, between the parts 4 and 9 causes theejector 5 and winder 10 to rotate in unison and also permits endwisemovement of the winder with the holder 18 as the pin slips along in theslot while the ejector'remains at rest. A vertically disposed lever 20is fulcrumed at 21 to the bedplate land has operative connection withthe rod 9 to impart endwise movement thereto. A spring 23 connecting thelever 20 with "the standard 2 serves to yieldingly hold said lever andconnected parts in norposition when moved therefrom.

The above named parts 1 to 23 would alone constitute an eiiicient goodswrapping mechanism operating as hereinafter described, but it ispreferred to also provide co-acting paper tube or wrapper carryingdevices which preferably comprise a cylindrical tube or wrapper carrier24 which is fixed to a rod 25 adjustablyheld at 26 to a lever 27fulcrumed at 28 and preferably 110 50 v -11, and also from the holder18, and

with the holder 18.

drawn toward the holder 18 and associated parts by a spring 29 until thelever strikes an adjusting screw or other stop 30 held to a suitablesupport on the bed-plate 1. The

lever 27 and stop 30' are so arranged on the bed-plate that the papertube .or' wrapper carrler 24 is normally held by the spring 29 with itsend fairly facing the wrapper the other hand around the raised carrier24,

and the lever then is retracted by the sprin 29 to hold the carrier andwrapper aline The goods to be wrapped, collars for instance, areadjusted within the holder by first passing one endof the collars byhand through the holder side opening 19 and into the slot 11 of thewmder 10. The crank 13 now is turned by the other hand to rotate-thewinder 10, and therebywind the collars or goods around it and within theholder 18, the ejector'5 being mcidentally turned with the winder by theengaging slot .8 and pin 12, while the holder 18 remains unmoved. Afterthe collars or goods thus are placed within the holder, the

ever 20 is tilted outward a ainst a collar 22 on the rod 9, as indicatedy dotted lines in Fig. 1 of the drawings, whereby the rod 9 is movedendwise within the now station ary shaft 4, as the pin 12 slides in theslot 8, and because of the arm connection 17, the

rod 16 is also and simultaneously moved endwise,thus causing the winder10 to be slid into the hollow body of the ejector 5, while the holder 18is simultaneously. moved endwise. As the ejector 56, is prevented frommoving endwise by the ad'acent standard portion 3, said ejector willorce the collars or other goods from the slotted winder thereby saidcollars or-other goods will be dischar ed within the tubular' wrapperwhich ad been earlier slipped by hand from the alined carrier 24 to aposition upon or around the holder. The tubular. wrapper proj sets atboth open ends beyond the collars or goods lyin wlthin it and these endsmay now be folde or tucked inward by the operators fingers and the packae is complete and the wrapped collars re ain clean and unsoiled bycontact with' moist or dirty hands. The wrapped package may or may notbe tied by string, as the nature or bulk of the goods and the method oftheir transmission by messenger or by mail or express may require. Whenthe wrapper carrymg devices24 to 30 are not used,the wrapper ejector asthey are wound around the winder and within the holder 18. I claim as myinvention 1. A wrapping machine comprising an open-sided endwlse movablegoods holder periphery, a goods winder revoluble within the holder andmovable endwise therewith, and an endwise immovable e'ector operativebetween the holder and win er.

2. A wrapping machine comprising an open-sided endwlse movable goodsholder a apted to receive a tubular wrapper on its perlphery, a goodswinder revoluble within the holder and movable endwisetherewith,

3. A wrapping machine comprising an o en-sided endwise movable. goodsholder a apted to receive a tubular wrapper on its periplhery, a goodswinder revoluble within the older and movable endwise therewith andhaving means adapted to grasp one end of thegoods to be woundthereon,and an endwise immovable goods e'ector operative between the holder andwin er.

' 4. A wrapping open-sided endw se movable goods holder a aptedtoreceive a tubular wrapper on its pen hery, a goodswinder revolublewithin the older and movable endwise therewith and having aslot adaptedto grasp one end of the goods to be wound thereon, and an endwiseimmovable goods ejector between the holder and winder.

5. A wrapping machine comprising. an endwise movable goods holderadapted to receive a tubular wrapper on it's periphe and a tiltingwrapper carrier norma y alined with the goods holder and permittingtransference of an applied wrapper from the carrier to the holder.
